Personally think this should be the most outstanding and thought-provoking ethical satire this year, no doubt about it.
When can human nature be most vividly reflected? That must be when it is related to one's own interests or safety. It is usually related to one's own interests and security when encountering danger. Therefore, many movies that reflect human nature like to set the background in a scene like a deserted island. However, although those movies like to reflect human nature, there are always some selfless heroes who will finally stand up and lead everyone to find a safe way home. In recent years, when heroes are rampant in movies, interesting stories of selfish characters in this situation have become something that everyone likes to watch.
" A Good Show" filmed by Huang Bo a few years ago is such a story. The selfish little character's "intrigue" on a deserted island has a good idea and starting point, but the ending still falls into clichés, which inevitably makes people feel a bit a pity, but this is also the general environment of domestic movies, and there is no way.
So, if you want to watch a work that has the same theme but has a good ending, and there are only selfish people and ironic works on the screen, then this comedy movie "The Triangle of Pain" cannot be missed. This film has both eye-catching places and pictures that make people want to vomit. It is a B-level movie. I would like to remind you that you must not watch it while eating.
Karl and Yaya are a couple, and they are fashion models. In this industry, women are still much more popular than men, so their income is not at the same level at all, which makes Carl feel a little unbalanced. What's even more unbalanced is that he feels that his girlfriend Yaya knows that she has made a lot of money, and he still has to pay for everything in life.
Although he has a strong heart, he still couldn't help but burst out over the long run. The two went to the restaurant to have a meal and agreed to treat Yaya, but after the meal, his girlfriend still pretended to be confused and put on makeup. This made Carl unable to help it anymore, and the two of them quarreled from the restaurant to the hotel. The scene of
is just to lay the groundwork for the plot at the end of the film. The director is telling the audience that everyone has a position in this society. In Yaya's view, she is verifying whether a man is willing to give her all the time, which in Carl's view, is unfair. But in the end, are they really people who want to spend their entire lives with each other? I don't think so.
They are just expressing a point of view to the audience. What I am right is This is also an attitude that everyone insists on in the subsequent film, and a series of plots are unfolded from this attitude.
Although they may not be people who want to spend their whole life with each other, they still quarreled at the head of the bed and got along at the end of the bed. The two also went out to work together. As handsome men and beautiful women, they were invited to attend a party on a luxurious yacht.
No surprise, the people on this yacht are either rich or noble, there are fertilizer merchants with their mistresses, rich women who travel with their husbands, explosive households who just sold the company... etc. Of course, there are also many models such as Carl and Yaya who were invited to cheer up, as well as unreliable captains and a bunch of waiters on the boat.
At the beginning, the scenery and life on the boat can be described as being indulgent. Rich people called and drank to the waiters and crew, and made some very excessive demands. A boat was directly complained and sent away because they did not wear a shirt when they worked. However, those handsome men and beautiful models were so cool that they were very pleasing to the eye, but they were not said anything more, which was very ironic. What’s even more ironic is that when those people had enough food and drink, and everyone had to return to their rooms in disgrace because of a storm on the sea, a disgusting scene happened.
The unreliable captain missed the reminder of the first mate because he was drunk and encountered a storm. Then, while the boat was a little drunk, he did not make the appropriate countermeasures. The hull began to shake violently. When the rich people just had enough food and drink, their stomachs naturally couldn't stand it and began to overturn. In an instant, the toilets in each room were overwhelmed, and the sea water poured back. The luxurious guest rooms became a paradise for shit, urine and vomit. Each room was filled with these filthy things, and the sewage flowed. In an instant, the rich people who usually don't stand it and think they are high-end and have to swim in such a cesspool.
The ship was still shaking, and the captain still ignored what was happening in the cabin. He continued to stay in his cockpit, with the rich cursing and the service staff at the bottom trying hard to clean up the filth, which was like a miniature society.
The story is not over yet because they have not been on the desert island yet. Yes, the plot is progressing step by step. In the end, the ship really sank and a group of survivors come to a desert island. At the same time, a scene that satirizes the patriarchal society appears.
has arrived on the deserted island. Whether you were the captain, first mate, rich man, or a beautiful and handsome model, or a service staff at the bottom, at this moment, everyone is equal, and only those with survivability are useful people.
people are social creatures, and there is also someone who needs to stand up and lead everyone. Although everyone wants to become a leader, in such a place, only those who are truly capable are the boss.
The original social structure has collapsed in this place, so the Asian lower-level aunt who masters survival skills and resource supply stood up. She became the latest "matriarch of the matriarch" on the island. What billionaires, captains, IT strongmen, model elites...
has to be suitable for her new identity again.
But when this new "matriarchal society" formed a small prototype, after a while, people began to explore this place and found that it turned out to be a remote resort island, everything will be reshuffled, and people's selfishness and human nature will be tested again.
This film is essentially different from those traditional desert island survival movies. Although they are all survival, they show the dark side of human nature. No matter how elegant and noble a person is, they are actually like a soak in the end. Every progress of the plot in the film is to satirize the ugly side of this society, people's arrogance, selfishness, hypocrisy, ignorance, absurdity, cruelty... are leaping on the screen.
The pictures in the movie are beautiful, pleasing to the eye and filthy constantly changing, which can be said to be awesome. is worthy of being the most heavyweight award of at the 75th Cannes Film Festival this year, and the winning video of Palme d’Or at the main competition unit !
